Loading and unloading of produce must be done with care. Packed produce must not be thrown from any vehicle.

Palletising packaged produce results in the surety that good-quality produce arrives in the marketplace in good condition.

Proper post-harvest management practices will therefore result in reduction of food loss and maintenance of quality.

Quality assurance is, therefore, guaranteed with increased income.
